Hi Jan,

Right, so the "Insert Content Reference" dialog is not modal anymore.
The dialog has a drop-down containing browse actions and you probably 
added your own action for browsing the CMS to it, right? Your action, 
when invoked should show a modal Java dialog allowing the user to browse 
the CMS. What does it currently do? Does it show a modeless window? Is 
the window Java based or is it a native window?
If you are showing a modeless native window you could start a thread 
which shows the native window and then show an empty not-decorated modal 
Java dialog over the parent dialog just to block the user interface 
thread from responding until the native window is closed.
For example when you use File->Open in Oxygen on Windows, the file 
chooser is a native window called via JNI. But it looks like it is modal 
because it gets as a parent a handler to the main Oxygen frame. Also 
behind the native window we show a small (0 pixels width and heigth) 
undecorated modal dialog to block the Java AWT thread while the native 
window is displayed.

Regards,
Radu
